FAQ

1. What information/data does Pointy receive when I connect it to my POS?

Pointy integrates with PharmaTill via a custom API (application programming interface). We then find an image and description to match each product from our comprehensive database. This then goes on your Pointy Page. To get the most out of Pointy, we need access to your POS inventory, stock levels and sales history (to estimate stock levels on your page). Your store's data is important to us and we ensure that it is protected at all times.

2. How do I access my Pointy account?

After you sign up to Pointy you will receive an email from us to create a login for your Pointy Page. Once you have created your login details, you can access your Pointy page by going to https://www.pointy.com/login.

3. How much does Pointy cost?

The core Pointy service is completely free for integration partner users. The core service includes your Pointy Page, retailer dashboard, and access to SWIS.
